What is there to discover Diep Son Island?
Walking on the road in the middle of the sea in Nha Trang on Diep Son island
The walking path across the sea is nearly 700 meters long, connecting the middle island with the big Diep Son island. The winding road is about 1 meter wide and is less than half a meter deep under the clear blue sea.
This stretch of road only appears for 3 to 4 hours at low tide, adding to the attraction and curiosity. Walking on this road brings a feeling of great excitement, mixed with suspense and a little bit of fear.

Pearl Bridge is a bridge over the sea stretching more than 300m, often appearing in people’s virtual living frames with the illusion that there is no stopping in the middle of Diep Son sea.
